Woodford Golf Club welcomes fourth cart shed
A fourth shed for golf carts has made a big difference with parking at the Woodford Golf Club, as fewer golfers have had to utilise a trailer.
Following the recent completion of the latest cart shed, numerous club members have stored their cart in the shed after previously bringing the cart on a trailer.
With three cart sheds already in place, the Woodford Golf Club secured a $20,000 grant from the Moreton Bay Regional Council (MBRC) last year to go towards a $60,000 shed which stores 20 carts owned by club members.
Woodford Golf Club house manager Pat McAtee said the grant money went towards construction, electricity and security for the fourth cart shed, while the club provided the remainder of the funds.
Pat said the reason for having another cart shed was to create more parking space, because bringing a cart on a trailer would occupy more space in the carpark.
With members paying a fee for storing their cart in one of the sheds, Pat said this created revenue which could be spent on the course as well as fund paths for the use of carts on the course.
Pat said the paths on the course came in handy on wet days in particular.
Councillor Tony Latter from Moreton Bay Regional Council (MBRC) said, “Enabling community organisations to deliver for the community is exciting, and it is awesome to see such an active group like the Woodford Golf Club continuing to grow.
“Woodford golf course is such an amazing course and demand continues to grow, and we are always happy to support groups like this in any way we can.”
